A nurse is using caring-healing relationships to support whole person/whole systems healing. Which type of nursing is the nurse using?
a. Holistic nursing
b. Integrative nursing
c. Interprofessional nursing
d. Complementary and alternative nursing
ANS: B
Grounded in six principles, integrative nursing is defined as "a way of being-knowing-doing that advances the health and well-being of persons, families, and communities through caring-healing relationships." Integrative nurses use evidence to inform traditional and emerging interventions that support whole person/whole systems healing. Holistic nursing treats the mind-body-spirit of the patient, using interventions such as relaxation therapy, music therapy, touch therapies, and guided imagery. Integrative health care, a strategy that is gaining popularity, involves interprofessional group practices where patients receive care simultaneously from more than one type of practitioner; nurses must interact with other health care professionals for any type of nursing. An integrative nurse will use complementary and alternative therapies to provide integrative nursing.
